Greece The education system in Greece is under the central responsibility and supervision of the state administration, and more specifically, the Ministry of Education, Research and Religious Affairs (MERRA). It consists of three levels: primary, secondary (divided in lower and upper-secondary), and tertiary (higher) education. 1. Overview of the Greek education system According to the Greek constitution, the Greek state is bound to provide all Greek citizens with access to free education at all levels of the state education system. The Greek education system2 consists of three levels: primary, secondary (divided in lower and upper-secondary), and higher (tertiary) education. a) Primary Education3 Primary education includes the pre-primary (kindergarten/‘παιδικός σταθμός’/paidikos stathmos) and the primary schools (‘δημοτικό’/dimotiko).

  • Exploiting the Bilingual's Psycho-Social
    International Journal of Arts & Sciences, CD-ROM. ISSN: 1944-6934 :: 09(02):551–564 (2016) EXPLOITING THE BILINGUAL’S PSYCHO-SOCIAL CHARACTERISTICS TO ENHANCE VOCABULARY ACQUISITION Enoka Makulloluwa Brock University, Canada This paper is a literature review exploring to what extent translation from the second language (L2) to first language (L1) and the construction of mnemonics based on culturally relevant imagery facilitate the encoding and retrieval of new vocabulary words in English as a Second Language (ESL) undergraduates. The study is mainly informed by the Bilingual Dual Coding Theory (BDCT), which assumes that cognitive activity of a bilingual is mediated by the two verbal systems in his/her language repertoire and the image system representing his/her knowledge of the world. Based on the literature, I propose that the use of L1 and culturally relelvant imagery together provide a potential vocabulary learning strategy to ESL learners as they acknowledge the learners psycho-social characterisitcs into consideration. Keywords: L1, Imagery mnemonics, BDCT, Vocabualry. Introduction Research suggests that there exist an achievement gap in terms of academic performance between English as a Second Language (ESL) learners with Limited English Proficiency (LEP) and their native English- speaking counterparts (Bibian, 2006; Hakuta, Butler, & Witt, 2000; Stahl & Nagy, 2006; Gu, 2013). This is due to their inadequate skills in the medium of classroom instruction. In particular, one of the literacy skills that causes learners insurmountable difficulties is vocabulary. It is identified as one of the main explanations for the achievement gap between ESL learners with LEP and their native English-speaking peers (August & Shanahan, 2006; Giridharan, 2012; Ramachandran & Rahim, 2004).

Castagno Northern Arizona University Bryan McKinley Jones Brayboy Arizona State University This article reviews the literature on culturally responsive schooling (CRS) for Indigenous youth with an eye toward how we might provide more equi- table and culturally responsive education within the current context of stan- dardization and accountability. Although CRS for Indigenous youth has been advocated for over the past 40 years, schools and classrooms are failing to meet the needs of Indigenous students. The authors suggest that although the plethora of writing on CRS reviewed here is insightful, it has had little impact on what teachers do because it is too easily reduced to essentializations, meaningless generalizations, or trivial anecdotes—none of which result in systemic, institutional, or lasting changes to schools serving Indigenous youth.

  • Anthropology and Education Business: Areas of Application, Approaches and Methodologies
    Anthropology and Education Business: Areas of Application, Approaches and Methodologies Belete Mebratu Medaille College Yan Ma Sun Yat-Sen University The present study examines the convergence between anthropology and education business giving rise to the field of anthropology of education. The early works of Hewett, Boas and Montessori paved the way for the foundations of the application of anthropological contents and methods to the study and practices of educative processes and systems for better understanding and improvement of learning. School settings and classroom life provide relevant environment for anthropological inquiries. The application of anthropological contents and methods in various aspects of the study of education is significant. The business function of education in terms of the leadership and management of human, material and financial resources for optimal outcomes calls for anthropological insights and underpinnings in educational systems. Anthropological concepts and principles are applied in the areas of the foundations of education, curriculum development, culture studies, classroom interactions, multicultural education, business education, policy implementations, educational research and educational administration. Ethnographic methods have greatly contributed to the understanding of complex educational issues and challenges. Ethnographic methods of grounded theory, documentary content analysis, and action research are employed to study educational problems through the use of the techniques of purposive sampling,

The participants in this bounded case study were three urban elementary principals from the same school district. Data collection was obtained from interviews, documents, and school walks in the participants’ schools. The following three themes emerged: (a) instructional leadership was shaped by district focuses, (b) building positive school climate was important to principals as instructional leaders, and (c) principals in urban districts face a variety of challenges.

  • AWAKENING to the POLITICS of HIGHER EDUCATION Francis C
    AWAKENING TO THE POLITICS OF HIGHER EDUCATION Francis C. Fowler Miami University The Legacy of the Progressive Movement I am going to admit at the outset that I am not a philosopher of education. Indeed, the fact that the philosophy of education is not my field is the main reason that I was asked to respond to the essays, “The Ohio Transfer Articulation Guide” by Kathleen Knight Abowitz and “The Policy Agenda for Teacher Education: The Ohio Story” by Xiaodan Huang. My field is, however, one of the “foundations of education”; my specialty is the politics of education, an area which, because of the vagaries of licensure requirements, has traditionally been assigned to administrator preparation programs rather than to teacher education. My students are largely practicing teachers and, in some cases, practicing school administrators who wish either to move into administration or to move up in the administrative hierarchy. It has long been considered essential that they understand some of the rudiments of the politics of the world that they desire to enter. When I began teaching at Miami University in 1990, however, most of my students resisted the idea that they needed to know anything about politics. They saw political activity as a disreputable enterprise that could easily sully their purity as educators and uncritically accepted such ancient bromides as “Politics and education don’t mix” and “Let’s keep politics out of education.” My students were, of course, the unconscious heirs of the Progressive Movement of the turn of the twentieth century. At that time the municipal reformers instituted a number of changes in local government, including the government of school districts.

  • 1.4 Percent Coverage for Education Is Not Enough
    December 2, 2009 Reuters/Jonathan Ernst Invisible: 1.4 Percent Coverage for Education is Not Enough Darrell M. West, Grover J. “Russ” Whitehurst, and E.J. Dionne, Jr. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ews coverage is important to every policy area. While some people have personal knowledge of certain topics, many rely on mass media for direct, N up-to-date, and in-depth reporting. This is especially the case with education because only a third of American adults currently have a child in elementary or secondary school. What most people know about schools comes from newspapers, radio, television, the Internet, or blogs – or from memories of their own experiences, often from long ago. Yet despite the importance of media coverage for public understanding of Darrell M. West is vice president and director of education, news reporting on schools is scant. As we note in this report, there is Governance Studies at the virtually no national coverage of education. During the first nine months of 2009, Brookings Institution. only 1.4 percent of national news coverage from television, newspapers, news Web sites, and radio dealt with education.1 This paucity of coverage is not unique to 2009. In 2008, only 0.7 percent of national news coverage involved education, while 1.0 percent did so in 2007. This makes it difficult for the public to follow the issues at stake in our education debates and to understand how to improve school performance. Community colleges fare especially poorly in the constellation of news coverage. Of all the education reporting, only 2.9 percent is devoted to two-year institutions of higher learning, compared to 12.5 percent for colleges and 14.5 percent for universities (the rest goes to elementary and secondary schools).

  • Anthropology and Education , Showing the Perspicacity of Taking Into Account This Bilateral Connection in the Educational Matters
    Revue Faculté des Lettres - N° 14 Novembre 2008 Educational anthropology. A theoretical exploration Mr. Sassi Abdelhafid University of Mascara Abstract : Educational anthropology as a field of inquiry and a frame that links the cultural elements , in their informal level with academic and formal elements by which education is described. As prompted by the necessity to describe this frame of research, the present paper tries to explore the links between anthropology and education , showing the perspicacity of taking into account this bilateral connection in the educational matters . Keywords ; education- Anthropology-origins-approaches 1. Background : Since the work of Franz Boas and Bronisław Malinowski in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, anthropology has been distinguished from other social science disciplines by its emphasis on in-depth examination of context, cross-cultural comparisons (socio-cultural anthropology is by nature a comparative discipline), and the importance it places on long-term, experiential immersion in the area of research, often known as participant- observation. Goodenough, (1976) and others describe that Cultural anthropology in particular has emphasized cultural relativity and the use of findings to frame cultural critiques. This has been particularly prominent in the United States, from Boas’s arguments against 19th-century racial ideology, through Margaret 7 Revue Faculté des Lettres - N° 14 Novembre 2008 Mead’s advocacy for gender equality and sexual liberation, to current criticisms of post-colonial oppression and promotion of multiculturalism . Educational Anthropology is a way of examining educational systems from a cultural anthropologist point of view (Spindler,1987). The American anthropologist George Spindler was an early leader applying ethnographic research methodology to the study of education In addition, there are infinite ways that anthropologists contribute to education through their studies of cultural acquisition and transmission in their culture-specific inquiries.

DESCRIPTORS Anthropology; Communication Research; *Discourse Analysis; Educational Environment; Educational Sociology; Elementary Secondary Education; Ethnography; Interaction; *Interprofessional Relationship; *Power Structure; Symbolic Language; *Teacher Administrator Relationship; *Teacher Supervision ABSTRACT This book presents different ways of viewing the teacher supervision process, based on a study of supervisors and teachers in a graduate program for beginning teachers sponsored by a college of education in the northwestern United States. Data were obtained through interviews, observation, and conversation analysis. Chapter 1 examines beliefs about supervision through an anthropological lens, presenting both various practitioners' and theorists' views of supervision. The second chapter presents research findings on supervision conferences as interactional achievements, with a focus on the supervisor's role and issues of power and control. Chapter 3 examines the same conferences from the teachers' perspectives, using the theoretical frames of teacher socialization and school reform. Teacher resistance is examined in the fourth chapter, allowing for a critique of literature on teacher resistance and a critique of supervision itself. Chapter 5 presents a new approach to supervision--"situationally contexted supervision"--which is based on an anthropological and interactionist view of classrooms and schools.
